Ecto?.. I think, Echo, for what is a ghost but an echo of a former self...
in any case..I will certainly not measure up to the brilliance in this room, so I'm sort of hoping that my basic nitter-natter skills will hold my place in the lineup.
the real magic of this place, is the brilliance is made up of many small candles, each a whispy flame, some guttering, some strong, no single mega wattage light, just candles, but together, we light the place up!
we each take turn playing sage and fool, straight man and wit, (sometimes switching hats mid-sentence!)
at times its a mad house! but we all do share a core love of words and language. and we almost never sharpen our tongues!--occationally word play, is like fencing, & it looks dangerous, but look closer, and you'll see the tips have been blunted.
Watch out for Mantle, or chopped liver, or Yart--other than those 3, we don't have too many secret words of jargon.
